San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, currently taking a leave of absence due to health issues, is the NBA’s all-time leader in coaching wins with 1,419. Former NBA head coach Lenny Wilkens has the most wins by an African American coach with 1,332, third overall in league history. Rivers also appears to have a strong case to make the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach one day as he is the only coach in the top 10 in all-time wins who has not been inducted. When asked about being close to tying Jackson, Rivers said, “I just don’t count them [wins]. If you hadn’t told me, I would not have known. My job is to win. I’ve done that and that’s all I do.”
